One of the most horrifying things I ever read was the first(second?) chapter of A Brave New World. The thought of not helping a person is bad. Fysically stunting someones growth makes me sick. To just do it to escape the ethical debate at a later point is horrifying.
- Bartweiss 10y agoI've always held with the claim that BNW is far more interesting and applicable to our world than 1984. Totalitarianism is out there, but it's not absolute and it's largely understood as evil. The sort of glib, "everyone is happy" moralism of BNW presents much deeper questions.
